You are employed until your job is offshored

The executives view life 3 months at a time and are rushing to bleed the company dry before they hop to the next race to the bottom

Pros

Competitive Salary and Competitive Benefits.

Cons

Non-stop shift of resources to lower cost countries despite the loss in skills and knowledge. Thinks employees are stupid in how they are working things to make employees want to leave just so they don't have to declare it as a layoff. CIO has become a cost cutting machine by closing up different teams and applications without regard for what it is losing. Management no longer cares for its people. TOXIC environment.

Pros

There's a lot of very helpful people who are eager to get you learning whatever product team you're in and the new hire programs are incredible. They do a variety of events to get you to see what your niche is do you can have a stronger footing on what you want to do in the next 5 years. The benefits are also pretty good as well.

Cons

No communication from management and they work you to death because they laid off too many people. Like seriously? Triple the work to make up for the lack of employees that you laid off? Talk about actions meeting consequences. Also they're pushing people to be more in office so the remote work is highly dependent on the manager you're working for and even then it's slim chance.
